 This is the third year in a row that I've made a video like this urging you to simply not go home for the holidays to Simply avoid spending the holidays with your relatives If it's something that you're worried about if it's something that you're stressing about you don't have to do it There's nothing that says you're trapped into doing it. You can say no I'm going to include links to the videos that I've made the previous two years because I've said in those videos I said everything that I needed to say and and I said it better I believe that I can say it in the short space and I'm gonna say it here, but basically Your arch-conservative and Republican relatives they enjoy torturing you they enjoy hurting you they look forward to it every year and The most effective thing you can do to exert your control over the situation is to simply Not give yourself to them. I'm posting this video a month or so earlier than I have in the last couple years Because the midterm elections are coming up the first week of November and it is vitally important that you vote in the last presidential election, which was the most crucial the most frightening the most important election in my memory Democrats and liberals in general just didn't vote they just didn't bother and That's the reason we're in this situation now because when you don't vote you're giving your vote to a Republican because Republicans always vote Please keep that in mind. It's important that you get out there and vote You don't have to wait till election day the polls in every county all across the country are open for two weeks Before the election two full weeks where you can vote early. There's no excuse for saying that you don't have time Number one find out if you're registered to vote if you're not then get a temporary registration if you have to and Drive out there sometime during the two weeks before election day After work there'll be no lines vote quickly Get it done. There's no excuse for it. You cannot vote with your cell phone You cannot vote by email if anyone who tells you that is lying to you. They're trying to get you to not vote They're trying to get you to miss the election somehow. Please keep that in mind Please make some effort to vote and again, you don't have to let your holidays be ruined by hateful relatives You don't have to be there at all if you need to hear someone tell you that it's okay To simply not be there if you need a voice to help you get over that hurdle Then let mine be that voice if you need it and again watch my other videos Where I talk about it at length. I think it's an important thing that most people don't talk about and I think we should more often Okay, I hope you have a good holiday season regardless what happens either in your family or with the election or whatever and Thank you for watching
